∙ 13y agoAn AND gate
The inverter, which returns the reverse of the input. The AND gate which returns a high output if and only if both inputs are high. The OR gate, which returns a high output if either or both inputs are high. The NAND and NOR gates return the opposite of their counterparts. They are basically the AND and OR gates with an inverter after them. The XOR gate is the exclusive OR gate; it returns a high output it either input is high, but not both. Every binary combination of outputs can be made from these operators. In fact, you don't even need all of them. The NAND and the NOR gate can both create every other gate.
Usually NAND gates or NOR gates, as these are the universal gates from which all other gates, flipflops, registers, etc. can be built. - - - - - There are four basic building blocks: gates with more than one input: AND: output high if all inputs high OR: output high if any input high gates with one input: buffers: output high if input high; these are used at the ends of long wiring runs so following gates get clear signals--IOW, they're amplifiers inverters: output low if input high A NAND gate is an AND with an inverter follower, and a NOR is an OR with an inverter follower.
When all inputs are HIGH.
It's a "quad, 2 input nor gate". To understand the significance of a "nor" gate, you need to understand a little about digital logic. An "or" gate takes 2 or more digital inputs and if either is "on", the output will be on. (asserted high). A "nor" gate inverts the output of the "or" gate, meaning that when either of the outputs are "on", the output will be "off" (asserted low). The two input part of the description just indicates that it only accepts two inputs. So, simply stated: If either (or both) input(s) of a quad, 2 input nor gate is (are) asserted high, the output will be low. If both inputs are off (low), the output will be high.
The output of the AND gate is high when both inputs are high because that is the definition of an AND gate. (Ouput is true ONLY WHEN Input A AND Input B are true.)

They are not different channels, they are just 2 inputs that you use (one at a time) for guitars with either a low or high level of output.
A NOR gate
NAND
The gate is called EXNOR gate. its output is high when only one input is high. the Boolean expression for this gate for two inputs A and B is AB+A'B'
Short the inputs together. Logic: A High input, with the inputs shorted together, will be H+H at the input side of the NAND gate, therefore resulting in a low output. A Low input, with both inputs shorted together, is L+L for inputs, resulting in a High output. Also, a NOR gate can be used in exactly the same way.
